Summary

The objective of this study is to compare two approaches to implement an evidence-based firearm safety promotion program, S.A.F.E. Firearm, in pediatric primary care as a universal suicide prevention strategy. The first implementation approach is a prompt in the electronic health record (EHR; Nudge) reminding clinicians to a) discuss firearm storage and b) offer a free cable firearm lock during the pediatric well visit. The second implementation approach (Nudge+) includes both the EHR Nudge described above plus one year of support to the clinics in deploying the program (i.e., practice facilitation). The study also aims to identify how these strategies work and whether the S.A.F.E. Firearm program results in reduced unauthorized access to firearms by young people. The investigators hypothesize that a greater proportion of well-visits will have S.A.F.E. Firearm delivery documented in the electronic health record in Nudge+ clinics vs. Nudge clinics.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: Parents

  • Parents and/or legal guardians (hereafter referred to as parents) at participating pediatric clinics who have a child age 5-17 who attends a well visit. At least one parent must attend the well visit to be eligible. The parent must be at least 18 years old to participate.

Exclusion Criteria: Parents

  • Due to translation costs and challenges of recruiting non-US resident participants, respectively, non-English speaking parents and non-US resident parents will not be eligible to participate at Henry Ford Health System.

Inclusion Criteria: Clinicians and leaders

  • Pediatric physicians and non-physician clinicians (hereafter referred to as clinicians) employed within the participating pediatric clinics, as well as health system leaders employed within the two health systems, are eligible to participate. Family medicine clinicians who see pediatric patients in participating clinics at Kaiser Permanente Colorado will also be eligible.

Exclusion criteria: Clinicians and leaders

  • At Kaiser Permanente Colorado, family medicine clinicians whose patient panel is comprised of fewer than 5% pediatric patients will be excluded.
  • Family medicine clinicians who see pediatric patients in participating clinics at Henry Ford Health System will be excluded.
